Fillet Height [F]. Wetting is evident on the vertical surface of the termination as the minimum fillet height.

It is my understanding that per IPC specs toe fillets are not required as they do not add any strength to a solder connection. Our thoughts were allways that proper toe fillets are a sign of a good process. What are some of your guidelines and though

May I know what is the requirement for side fillet for QFN?Any information from IPC spec on QFN side fillet?We cant make the solder joint form at the side fillet.

Good fillet at the heel is most critical. Check out IPC standards for acceptable solder joints.

I agree 100% The strength of the joint is contained at the interface. Ever seen a fillet on a mail stamp?

Hi, I have a fine pitch QFP (TQFP100) and after reflow soldering, i got less solder ( not enough fillet) on the toe area but have good fillet at the heel. Does this mean that I have a weak solder joint or is my process not too good ? What is importa

On one hand, nothing in 8.2.5.4 that states that you need a heel fillet. It only talks to the length of the side fillet. On the other hand, we suggest that you should use 8.2.5.6 to determine if your heel fillet is acceptable, after you have determ

I'm worried about the voids that you have on the heel fillet of the leads. Off the top of my head, I don't recall if/what the IPC spec is for voids in gull lead fillets is but my gut instinct is that you're compromising the mechanical strength of the

Since side fillets are not a requirement for QFNs/BTCs due to some packages not having wettable side terminations, how does one determine if the side terminations are actually solderable/designed for wetting? Is it simply if the side terminations
